About KidKare Food Program
KidKare is a childcare platform that allows home providers, daycare centers, and food sponsors to manage meal programs, claims processing, and accounting operations. It enables businesses to record children’s attendance and automatically calculate the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) claims in accordance with federal and state regulations.
Organizations can send enrollment forms to parents, create new records with details including name, birth date, or assigned classrooms, and determine children’s eligibility for meal benefits. Managers can create daily, weekly, and monthly meal plans, configure food combination rules, edit menu templates, and export food lists in XLSX format. Using KidKare’s self-service portal, parents can access a child’s class schedules, make fee payments via credit or debit cards, and filter invoices by name or date range from the database.
KidKare lets sponsors track attendance, meal counts, and food expenses to facilitate CACFP reimbursement. Administrators can grant access permissions to specific staff members and create vendor records with details including name, address, or contact number. Other features of the software include reporting, receipt generation, scheduling, and menu management.

The system is easy to operate. I enjoy using the saved menu templates.

It can be slow at times. There have been times the site would not function, but it usually comes back up the same day.

Terrible system since switching from Minute Menu--They can't seem to get things to work...
Reviewed on 1/12/2017
only headaches thus far.
only headaches thus far.
Pros
I like that this is a web-based program so it is accessible from any device & because of this, I especially like that my parents can check their child in very easily on a designated tablet.
Cons
This is the same company that owned Minute Menu. They tested this program for many months before completely discontinuing Minute Menu. Because of that, one would assume the program actually worked. Where do I start on the "Cons"? ... For starters, the program randomly doesn't save data that was previously saved, such as the meals & times entered for the children in care (a requirement necessary to submit to the USDA Food Program), the forms & reports this program offers are a slim selection from what the MM program offered which most often results in significantly more time added to my work load. Don't expect an actual receipt to give to parents after posting payments to accounts. All you will get is a statement of account, not an itemized receipt which is common practice when receiving payments in a business. Plan to add time in having to hand write on every statement what payment was made, the form of payment, etc. Beware of this ridiculous program.

Not having a ton of paper claims to keep and store has been extremely helpful. I log in everyday to enter my meals and it's a lot faster as I can type faster then I can write!
Pros
I like that it's so easy to use and go back to check your work. I'd been doing paper claims for 18 yrs and finally went to KidKare last year and wondered why I waited so long
Cons
I haven't come across anything yet that has frustrated me about this software.
